Pour the caramel protein shake and banana into a small blender and blend together until all ingredients are completely combined. Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.
Process the Ice Cream
After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then respin. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Pour the chopped-up chocolate chips down the center of the ice cream and then process on mix-ins.
Remove the pint from the machine, drizzle with caramel ice cream topping and enjoy!

Notes
Can you taste the salt in the salted caramel protein shake?Maybe if you were to drink the shake on its own. But, when the protein shake is made into ice cream, the flavor becomes more mild. The salt flavor does not stand out.Can I use protein powder to make ice cream in the Ninja Creami?Yes! You can. However, you would need to drastically change the recipe if it's made using the shake. To use protein powder, you would need to eliminate the shake from the recipe and instead use protein powder, liquid (almond milk), and extra flavor through extra syrup, extract, or flavor oils.
